A Boy and his Demon

Chapters:

20:13] The sun slowly rose and shone through a window, falling
right on the boys face. He mumbles for a second before he sits up
with a gasp, and the Demon is there standing over him *Everything
alright master?*

[20:14] Kelly saw the sun shine through her window, waking, and
stretching, getting up and heading downstairs to the kitchen,
forgetting about Richard and Laven, as she went to make herself
food.

[20:56] 'Yes I am fine" he glares at the demon hovering over him.
He slowly sits up and stretches. *Master are you ready to
continue?*

[20:58] She got herself a glass of water, drinking it, hearing
voices, her memories coming back, and she sighed. ~Oh yes, the
demon..~

[21:03] "What about the girl, we shouldn't leave with out her"
the demon stands up straight *Yes of course master, I shall wake
her now if you wish?* the boy nods "please do"

[21:03] She sat the glass down, putting it in the sink, she put
her hand on her side, to her surprise a sheathe on the side of it
with the dagger in it. ~Oh yeah, I threw that up.~

[21:08] Laven bows and walks out and hears the water running and
walks to the kitchen *Miss Kelly are you awake?*

[21:08] She waves her hand, nodding, turning to him.
"Yeah....Yeah I am."

[21:15] *My master wishes to depart soon and wishes to know if
you are ready?* he smiles at her

[21:17] She nods at him, rubbing her eyes. "Yeah, I have nothing
really to take with me so."

[21:18] *Then I shall let him know* he turns abruptly on his heel
and went back to the boy. *Master I do believe she is ready to
leave at any time*

[21:20] She walked out of the kitchen and into the living room
where they were, yawning.

[21:21] The boy stands and wait by the demon, blank faced "Good
morning to you"

[21:22] "Yep, morning, Cap'n." She smiled looking at him.

[21:23] He stares at her "I hope you don't plan on calling me
that?" then turns and walks for the door

[21:24] She shrugs, "Depends on if I see it fits." She chuckled
and followed behind him.

[21:27] He when he steps outside Laven is already waiting for
him, smiling, then files in behind him as they set out east

[21:28] She walked along behind him, still slightly dazed, not
used to being up so early.

[21:31] The demon spoke from behind her *Did you sleep well my
Lady?*

[21:32] She turned her head slightly, then turned back. "Alright
I suppose.."

[21:37] *Good we have a long journey ahead of us.* he smiles and
walks ahead of her again. the boy continues to walk straight
faced.

[21:37] She sighed, looking down. "I bet." She looked back up,
and decided to take the route, following them within the trees.

[21:42] She watched them as they walked, watching Laven. ~Why
would a demon choose to follow him..~

[21:42] "Laven how far do you think they are?" the Demon stepped
ahead of him the turned around and walked backwards *It appears
they are three days ahead of us. Unless we should stop we could
catch them in one week.*

[21:47] She jumped down in front of them, tilting her head to
Laven. "How do you know this stuff? I get you're a demon, but
how?"

[21:50] *Simple, while you were both sleeping I ran ahead to
catch up with them, I listened to where they were going, and ran
back before an hour had passed* he smirks *Or to put it simply
Magic*

[21:51] She rolls her eyes at him. "RIght-o. Hey Richard, did you
eat?"

[21:55] "Hmmm?" he looks back, his mismatched eyes lock with hers
"I did not yet eat, why? are you hungry?"

[21:56]"I can go a few days without food, I am just worried bout
you is all."

[21:58] "Well don't I am fine" he frowns and starts to walk
faster "Come on Laven" the demon keeps up *Yes Master*

[21:59] she crossed her arms, looking at the boy, and stopping
momentarily. ~Geez, attitude.~

[22:02] He sighs and slows down "Why are you so worried about
me?"

[22:02] "Because you are still a kid, and because..." She looks
down, and clenches her fist. "No reason, just go."

[22:05] "What? No! tell me!" he looks back very confused

[22:06] "Nothing! It's nothing."

[22:08] "Ugh. Laven why must that girl be so confounding?" the
Demon smiles knowingly *She is a women Master. They have a Logic
and Rules of their own. And they don't have to make sense* the
boy glares at him "That's no help at all!"

[22:09] She smirked at Laven's comment. "A girl can have her
secrets."

[22:10] The demon turns his crimson gaze to her *You may be able
to hide things from the boy, but not from me, so be careful with
your thoughts child*

[22:11] "You'd be surprised how quick I can forget something,
demon." She glares at him.

[22:13] *Just because your memory fails, does not mean the
thought does not fly though your mind. and a thought is such a
simple thing to catch. you just reach out and grab it* and he
swipes his hand in front of the girl, then chuckles.

[22:14] She backed away from him slightly, sneering. "Stay out of
my thoughts."

[22:17] *Oh but you don't realize, you throw your thoughts
everywhere child. you and the master both, fling your thoughts
hither and yond. For anyone with training to read.* he lays a
hand on thee boys shoulder *Your minds are young and untrained,
so it is understandable, but do try to keep a lid on your
thoughts my Lady*

[22:17] She growled at him. "Don't tell my what i should try and
shouldn't try to do, Laven."

[22:20] he shrugs and turns to face forward *As you wish my Lady*
his rip tightens on the boy's shoulder *As for you Master, I
shall be training you to guard your thoughts, and perhaps to read
others*

[22:20] Her eye twitched at him, and went back into her trees.
~Telling me to gaurd my thoughts...Bloody...Augh.~

[22:22] the demon looks up into the trees *It would do you well
Kelly. Perhaps you would like to join my Master in training
later?*

[22:22] "I told you to stay out of my head!"

[22:24] *I am not in your mind, you are pushing your mind into
mine. and there is no need to shout* the boy scoff "Honestly, act
your age"

[22:24] Her eye twitches, as she looked to Richard. "You're one
to talk."

[22:26] He glares at the girl "You don't hear me whining about
having to train. He is offering to teach us a valuable lesson and
you complain like a young child" he snorts in disgust "Honestly
Laven, why do you try?"

[22:27] "You are the young child, I don't see value in sealing
your mind, where you are supposed to think of everything that you
keep bottled up!" She stomped her foot, but slipped, falling from
the branch.

[22:30] The Demon jumps and catches her in mid air *Careful,
branches don't like being stomped on* he smiles at her

[22:31] She blinked, and looked up at him, then back down, her
face red.

[22:35]He lands gently on the ground. *Would you orefer to walk
on the ground now? Or shall I carry you?*

[22:38]*Master do you oppose?* the boy continues to stare ahead
his mind racing, but shakes his head. *Very well, if that is what
you wish my Lady*

[22:39]She smiled, crossing her arms, happy to have got her way
for once.

[22:40] The demon catches a stray thought and raises an eyebrow,
but says nothing and continues to walk behind Richard

[22:41] As they walked, her eyelids began to droop, yawning.

[22:44] *Master something has you deep in thought, what is
troubling you?* the boy looks back "I am trying to think about
how I will deal with those who destroyed my home, when we catch
them" he places both hands behind his head "Any ideas?"

[22:45] She quickly fell asleep, her head beginning to loll.

[22:47] The Demon holds her closer then frowns at his actions *If
you are asking methods of torture Master I know many. Unless you
want to add a personal touch to them. Then I suggest you learn
each man's fear and exploit it*

[22:48] She rested her head against his chest, sleeping soundly,
twitching on occasion.

[22:52] The boy frowned at the demon "I don't even know if I want
to kill them, or torture them or both" he sighs "I am torn Laven"

[22:58] *What you decide to do, will be deserved. but do not
worry to much, that decision is many days ahead* the Demon smiles
at the boy. *Does that help Master?*

[22:59] She mumbled in her sleep with incoherent sentences,
before silencing herself again.

[23:01] Richard looks at Kelly curiously. "How far is the next
town, that isn't totally destroyed?"

[23:04] Her face turned a slight pale, and she gritted her teeth,
as her eyes shot open, gasping for air like she was being choked.

[23:06] The Demon holds her closer.*Are you alright?* he looks at
her with a bit of concern. He looks up *The next town should be
over this hill Master*

[23:07]"Y-Yeah..B-Bad d-dream.."

[23:08] Richard frowns then looks back "I am sorry to hear that,
perhaps the news that we are close to the next town will help you
feel better?"

[23:09]She looked down, and wiped her forehead. "I'm not good
with people..."

[23:12] *Shouldn't be much of a problem. the town is mostly
deserted, what with the group from Masters village coming though*

[23:12] "K-Kay.." Her hands met with her throat, which felt like
it was burning.

[23:14] The demon moves his face closer to hers *Do you wish for
me to continue to carry you?*
